Word is out of Chicago Bull camp, that the Bulls are trying to talk Antonio Davis out of retirement. From K.C. Johnson of the Tribune: "Antonio Davis waved off a question about whether he was retired when he visited the Bulls' practice last Saturday. It is said that Davis is enjoying retirement. But his skills—leadership and rugged rebounding—appear to be what the Bulls are lacking."
Maybe I'm a little ignorant, but didn't they pay Big Ben Wallets $60M to provide leadership in rebounding? In a recent game vs. Orlando, "Donnie" Darko lit up Big Ben for 14pts, 16rbs & 5 blocks. In the same game, D-wight Howard had 21pts & 16rbs (11 TO's YIKES!) Let's see ... what did Big Ben have, 3pts, 8rbs.
Chicago is done. They're trying to lure Toni Kukoc & Antonio Davis (& his brawling wife) out of retirement. It looks like a sign of desperation, they're grasping for straws. When it comes down to it, they are a jump shooting team and those type of teams don't win in May and June. They need an offensive inside presence.
